Translation of the song lyrics Un directiu em va acomiadar - Manel

Un directiu em va acomiadar (original)

Un cop a la setena planta vaig saludar a la secretaria
I hauria pogut fotre amb el peu la porta avall
Cridar: «he sentit que hem de parlar, doncs parla!»
O dir: «em sap greu, però t’equivoques i del tot
No has calculat que estic molt boig!
En guàrdia, en guàrdia!»
Quan vaig fer d’home respectable
Que entén que són coses que passen…
I un directiu, un directiu, em va acomiadar
I un directiu, un directiu, em va acomiadar
I hauria pogut portar un barret ben divertit
Reptar-lo a un duel i requerir l’espasa
O estirar-me dels cabells com posseït
Notar-lo ben acollonit, mirant-me, mirant-me
Quan acceptava i assentia
El senyor obedient que porto a dintre…
I un directiu, un directiu, em va acomiadar
I un directiu, un directiu, em va acomiadar
Jo l’obeïa i em va acomiadar!
I em va acomiadar, i em va acomiadar, i em va acomiadar!
I aquest va ser el punt i final
D’aquest vell conte al•lucinat
Que ensenyarà potser als petits
I distraurà, esperem, als grans
I aquí s’acaba la funció
El directiu i el nostre heroi
Us saluden, us saluden

(translation)

Once on the seventh floor I greeted the secretary
And he could have kicked the door down
Shout, "I heard we had to talk, so talk!"
Or to say, "I'm sorry, but you're wrong
You didn't think I was crazy!
On guard, on guard! ”
When I was a respectable man
Who understands that these are things that happen…
And a manager, a manager, fired me
And a manager, a manager, fired me
And he could have worn a really fun hat
Challenge him to a duel and require a sword
Or pulling my hair out like I own
Notice him well-received, staring at me, staring at me
When he accepted and nodded
The obedient gentleman I carry inside…
And a manager, a manager, fired me
And a manager, a manager, fired me
I obeyed and he fired me!
And he fired me, and he fired me, and he fired me!
And that was the end of it
From this hallucinatory old tale
Maybe teach the little ones
And it will distract, hopefully, the big ones
And that's where the function ends
The manager and our hero
They greet you, they greet you
